Which physical quantity has dimensions [ML²T⁻³]? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which physical quantity has dimensions [ML²T⁻³]?
A. Momentum
B. Energy
C. Power
D. Force
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Power = Work/Time. Work has dimensions [ML²T⁻²], dividing by time [T] gives [ML²T⁻³]. Energy is [ML²T⁻²], force is [MLT⁻²], momentum is [MLT⁻¹]. This dimensional formula uniquely identifies power. Memory tip: Power = energy per second ⇒ dimensions include extra T⁻¹ factor. Frequently tested in dimensional analysis sections of competitive exams.

Question #1
The commercial unit of electrical energy is kWh. 1 kWh equals how many joules?
A. 3.6 × 10⁵ J
B. 3.6 × 10³ J
C. 3.6 × 10⁶ J
D. 3.6 × 10⁴ J

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
1 kWh = 1000 W × 3600 s = 3,600,000 J = 3.6 × 10⁶ J. This is a standard conversion. Power (watt) × time (hour) gives energy. 1 watt = 1 J/s. Remember this for electricity bills.

Question #2
What happens to the atomic number and mass number of a radioactive nucleus when it emits a gamma ray?
A. Atomic number increases by 1, mass number remains the same.
B. Atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4.
C. Both atomic number and mass number decrease by 1.
D. Both atomic number and mass number remain completely unchanged.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Gamma emission is the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation (photons) from a nucleus transitioning from an excited high-energy state to a lower, stable energy state. Gamma rays carry no mass and no electrical charge. Therefore, the emission of a gamma ray does not alter the number of protons (atomic number) or the total number of nucleons (mass number) of the atom.
